Hey guys Is there any way to “hide” subcategories from topic lists and display the parent categories below the topic title instead? My desired result is a root category with n subcategories. Those subcategories are not supposed to be displayed in the front end. They are only used to restrict acces…

In general, you should avoid full template overrides since they require maintenance - you have to run a diff and check what’s changed if a Discourse update breaks your theme.

I edited the snippet above to reflect that change. All you need to do is to add the parent category ids to the targetCategoryIds array. You can find the category id by visiting the category page and checking the URL . https://meta.discourse.org/c/support/6 “6” at the end of the URL above is the i…
